About Me

How did I come to designing jewelry? With a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and a Masters Degree in Education, 24 years of experience in school libraries and teaching gifted children, I now find myself spending endless hours creating beautiful jewelry. All along the way, I have always had a need to create. Writing, photography, baking, knitting, sewing, cross-stitching, smocking, and now, jewelry. One day, my friend Leah saw me making a sterling and crystal noodle necklace for myself. The next day she called me and said she needed a really special gift for someone, and asked if I could make her a noodle necklace. A business was born!

Born and raised in Cincinnati, I now call Columbus home. I have been married for 31 years and have two daughters and a son. The oldest teaches art and makes lamp work glass, the next is a law clerk in New Jersey and the youngest is learning to be a sound engineer. When I’m not twisting wires and dropping beads, I enjoy reading, playing Mah Jongg, and spending time with my family, friends and many pets.
